For instance, when the Cowboys loses against a coast team, the baby Jesus smiles.

Otherwise, don't care.

The videotape was Belichick's thing. Interesting the offensive coordinator got caught doing the same thing in Denver though I think that was a more of an indifference than this football thing.

In that 40-50 degree you basically have a ball that is a rock for one team, the other--less of a rock that is also tailored to the comfort of Brady's grip. It would be lesser of an issue than say Glendale where he'd be more unlikely to throw under-thrown balls though grip & ability to catch a NFL ball would be a crucial difference especially if the slight change made a difference in a big play but would also make an under-thrown ball easier to catch which an interception ball by a Colts defender caught from a throw by Tom Brady in their previous matchup led to an initial suspicion from that organization. I only used the NFL ball growing up in my personal organized pickup games because I wanted to learn to be talented with a NFL ball. The NCAA is much easier to grip, throw, and especially catch.

Kickers and punters used to trick out their footballs to the extent that the league instituted the K ball. BTW - kickers have never been more accurate than this season. Much in the same way Brady and the Pats got better in the second half. The ball didn't matter.
